The 6.5 liter Pontiac GTO (389 cu in) was brought out in in 1964 to compete with the Ford Mustang in the muscle car youth market.

What happens to a car that is totalled by the insurance company? Here is one example. A 2006 Pontaic GTO rear ended in Ohio and declaired a total loss is sold to a car parts man who takes the wreck and puts it up for sale on the internet. All or parts are for sale. My coworker has a 1964 Chevelle SS with a 283 V-8 that he wants to convert into a screaming combination of restored original and modern muscle car. The engine in this GTO is a Corvette L2 with 400 hp. The engine and six speed transmission are now in the 1964 Chevelle. Modifications required for the insertion have been found on a web site posted by a man who has already accomplished this feat. Drive shaft has to be shortened by about 3" and moifications to the radiator need to be done for everything to fit.
Found a restoration candidate! This is car prior to restoration. Looks good here, but needing major work.
